  • RazoRock For Chicago Italian Shaving Soap

    **For Chicago now uses are RazoRock Super Tallow Formula which includes Tallow, Shea Butter, Argan Oil, Aloe Vera and Lanolin, for unmatched post-shave and razor glide!**

    In the fall of 2012, we were invited to a wet shaving event in Chicago and it was my first time I had ever visited this great American city.  Chicago impressed me in many ways… The architecture, the food, the boulevards and the way the waters of Lake Michigan flows right into the city through the Chicago river.  But, what really grabbed my attention was the heart and soul of the people I met.  If you’ve visited Chicago, I don’t have to tell you how passionate and colorful the people of this city are; if you don’t believe me, just watch a Ray Pope shaving video!  The people are awesome!

    Okay, so why make a “For Chicago” shaving soap?  Well, for about a year and a half we had a relationship with a store in Chicago that sold our RazoRock products and during that period RazoRock products were used and enjoyed by many wet shavers in the city.  I exchanged many an email with our Chicago clients and their passion was equally strong in electronic form, as it was when I visited the city.  Unfortunately, our relationship with our Chicago stockist soured because of differing values/opinions on business and eventually was terminated.  Thankfully, we live in ‘the Internet Age’ and most of these clients starting coming directly to us to buy their RazoRock products.  This soap was created to say THANK YOU to the passionate and loyal people of Chicago that continue to support us, even though buying the product wasn’t as ‘local’ as before.  Here is what we did… we took our highly regarded soap base, our super slick Tallow and Aloe formula, and we discounted it 20%.  This soap would usually sell for $9.99 but it’s going to be sold for $7.99 just because you guys are AWESOME!  I have personally selected a scent that I believe matches the strength and soul of your great city.  I hope I’ve done you proud.

    Excellent soap. Scent OK- but not like reviewers say

    The Super tallow base is excellent. Easily makes a great lather with fantastic cushion and residual slickness. I might try some others. Definitely if they made an unscented version or some with essential oils I'd be all over them- as I prefer more mild, natural scents or nothing to compete with aftershave.

    The scent is OK but a bit strong for me and smells nothing like the descriptions in other reviews. It's quite strong also- and really stays in the skin- competing and clashing with aftershaves.

    It's a good, somewhat androgynous, perfumey scent. A dead ringer for a perfume my mom wore when I was a kid- slightly floral but not overly feminine. I pick up no jasmine- at least whatever jasmine notes are there are so subtle and artificial I don't recognize them- which is a real disappointment as it was the reason I bought it. It's a nice strong perfume scent you may like- it's just a bit much for me and I don't really want to think about my middle aged mom in the 80's getting ready for a night out with my dad every time I shave.

    Chicgao soap

    Purchased this because i prefer Tallow Soaps.The soap performed well as i expected it would. The Scent however is very unusual, I have never smelled anything like this before, i can't even describe it... It's not a scent that makes you say wow this smell's great. Like XXX does. Can't say I like the scent,then again I can't say I hate it.. I'll put it this way. It'll never be my 1st, 2nd, or even my 3rd choice to shave with..😒

    I'd say for Las Vegas...

    This stuff is fantastic of course, as are all the RazoRock shaving soaps, but most especially the tallow ones like this one. Perfect lather every time, excellent density, and a 25-30 second brush loading is easily good for three full passes. As far as value goes, RazoRock simply can't be beat with this one. At $8 a puck, it's significantly cheaper than any other tallow based artisan soap I can find. For shaving soaps, RazorRock value is second to none.

    I certainly like the scent of this, but after using it (and the matching aftershave) I kept thinking that the scent was very familiar, and I had experienced it before. After a few hours it finally hit me, it's the exact same scent (in my mind at least) that pervades the Venetian hotel in Las Vegas. Once I realized that the scent kept bringing me back to wandering around the canals and shops inside that hotel. Granted, it's been about 9 years since I've been there so the place may not smell exactly the same anymore, but for me it's a dead ringer for the inside of the Venetian.
